Opti Inc. and VATAi Collaboration: A New Era for E-Commerce in Japan

Opti Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, led by CEO Akira Fuchigami, has recently announced a groundbreaking exclusive partnership with VATAi, a Belgian-based tax technology firm specializing in VAT compliance. This collaboration aims to strengthen cross-border e-commerce compliance for Japanese businesses, providing them with state-of-the-art technology and comprehensive compliance services at unprecedented prices.

Key Services Offered

VAT Registration

Through this partnership, online sellers will be able to register with local tax authorities and obtain VAT numbers. This ensures compliance with the requirements of major marketplaces like Amazon and eBay, helping businesses open and maintain accounts without the risk of suspension.

VAT Filing

The accurate submission of VAT returns eliminates penalties, interest, and compliance risks from previous violations. This not only safeguards businesses from future tax audits but also streamlines the IPO due diligence process, allowing for smoother operations.

EPR Compliance

Understanding the importance of environmental regulations, the partnership also offers compliance services for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), covering regulations such as Lucid, WEEE, and battery regulations. This helps businesses avoid bans and listings for violations, ensuring stable operations on online platforms.

GPSR Compliance

By adhering to the General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR), firms can provide proof of compliance with EU safety standards, thereby avoiding fines, product recalls, and account suspensions, ensuring sustainable consumer protection.

Trademark Registration

Opti’s services also extend to trademark registration, protecting brands from infringement and imitation risks. This step is crucial for securing long-term growth and enhancing brand value in competitive markets.

New Online Platform

Opti is excited to introduce a dedicated service portal accessible at vatai.opti.co.jp. This platform will provide detailed information on services, pricing, and frequently asked questions, effectively reducing the compliance burden on businesses.

Customers can easily purchase services online, and the seamless onboarding experience allows for quick initiation of VAT registration and filing.

Yujing, COO of VATAi, expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration, stating, "The Japanese market holds immense potential. By partnering with Opti, we can offer the benefits of VATAi's technology to Japanese businesses. We are excited to empower operators with this innovative solution.”
